This review is from: Garrison Keillor: The Man on the Radio in the Red Shoes (DVD)

I have listened to A Prairie Home Comapanion for years and have many of the CDs and Mr. Keillor's books. This DVD is a behind the scenes look at who he is and you truly discover that he's just a regular guy.

This review is from: Garrison Keillor: The Man on the Radio in the Red Shoes (DVD)

I have a small volume of customers that love this guy's show, have rented the DVD (A Prairie Home Companion) and follow his work similar to the Paul Harvey crowd. I never listened to their show or even saw APHC, but I did follow Paul Harvey for years and can understand the draw this kind of entertainment has.

This latest documentary covers the span of time before and after that live show in the Minnesota rain a couple years ago. After hearing and seeing his artistic process, I feel compelled to write very little after visualizing a great writer like him. This is a must see for his fan base and I feel they will get a worthwhile product containing plenty of snippets about Minnesota, about how things used to be in the radio industry, Keillor's random thoughts, unscripted interviews and above all - rhubarb.

The supplements contain some redone footage from the Prairie Home Companion release, outtakes of a sort and a few other items that make this a solid purchase, even for someone that knew little of him prior to this viewing. The overall title has a slight introspective feel to it, that I think maybe caters to the crowd looking for something in themselves, over finding it in some random semi-fictional tripe. Hope you get something out of it.

This review is from: Garrison Keillor: The Man on the Radio with the Red Shoes (Amazon Instant Video)

At times laconic, at times heartfelt and funny throughout, this documentary is just like the show. If you love Prairie, you'll love this. I never knew what most of the cast looked like before, but now I do. After seeing this, I find I really want to go to a live taping the next time he's in my neck of the woods!
